Abraham
Tera, en klanleder i Mesopotamien, når frem til, at hans søn er en reinkarnation af profeten og patriarken Abraham, og i 1916, mens Første Verdenskrig hærger, sætter klanen sig for at drage gennem Mellemøsten i forsøget på at gentage den gammeltestamentlige profets indstiftelse af den Pagt, som blev grundlaget for jødedommen, kristendommen og islam. Hensigten er at genskabe menneskenes forening i den bibelske gud og lægge grunden for en ny tid og en ny menneskehed. Med Første Mosebogs beretning om Abraham og hans families gerninger som bagtæppe tager Tera og hans klan af sted på en bibelsk færd gennem Mellemøsten. Det er en færd, der fører dem gennem to verdenskrige samt en kold krig, og som ender med den genfødte profets død mod slutningen af det 20. århundrede. Undervejs bliver klanen vidner til Osmannerrigets fald efter Første Verdenskrig og englændernes og franskmændenes kolonisering og opsplitning af Mellemøsten og de mange følger, disse begivenheder fik for regionen.

Abraham Lincoln
Hailed as the definitive portrait of the sixteenth president, Lincoln scholar Michael Burlingame's impressive two-volume biography has been masterfully abridged and revised. Sixteenth president of the United States, the Great Emancipator, and a surpassingly eloquent champion of national unity, freedom, and democracy, Abraham Lincoln is arguably the most studied and admired of all Americans. Michael Burlingame's astonishing Abraham Lincoln: A Life, edited and abridged by Jonathan W. White, offers fresh interpretations of this endlessly fascinating American leader. Based on deep research in unpublished sources as well as newly digitized sources, this work reveals how Lincoln's character and personality were the North's secret weapon in the Civil War, the key variables that spelled the difference between victory and defeat.
